After the Rain

hacklec

hands without leaves

wear bracelets of rain

as cars ride on waves

that retreat

down inlets of calm

 

broken guitar strings

shimmer on sidewalks

that bend into green

 

babies rock in hopeful arms

by quilted fires

as small fingers dip

in a puddle of eyes

on doorsteps

 

untied shoelaces drag

through the mud

to find

among the dirty

windows of a sandbox

a toy

it’s face a wide smile

just

after the rain
